Cataloging Films and Video Recordings in RDA NOTSL Spring 2012 Meeting April 27, 2012 Cuyahoga Public Library Administration Building Presented by Peter H. Lisius Kent State University 1
Scope: What Will Be Covered Basic differences between AACR2 and RDA AV-specific issues in cataloging under RDA MARC records cataloged under AACR2 Compared with Same MARC records cataloged under RDA Full RDA examples included at the end
AACR2 vs. RDA AACR2 In two parts Description (Part I) Headings, references, u.t. s (Part II) Format by format (e.g., Ch. 7 devoted to motion pictures/videos) Uses LCRIs RDA Four basic parts Recording attributes of (Sections 1-4) Recording primary relationships (5) Recording relationships to (6-7) Recording relationships between (8-10) Uses LC Policy Statements (LCPS)
Core RDA Elements Core elements based on FRBR/FRAD (RDA 0.6) Some elements core based on Library of Congress Policy Statements (LCPS), but not in RDA itself Attributes Section 1: Manifestation/Item (Ch. 1-4; elements described in1.3) Section 2: Work/Expression (5-7; 5.3) Section 3: Person, Family, Corporate Body (8-11; 8.3) Primary relationships Section 5: Between works, expression, manifestations and items (17.3)
Core RDA Elements (ctd.) Relationships to Section 6: Persons, Families, Corporate Bodies (18.3) Relationships between (not considered core in RDA, but some are per LCPS) Sections 8-10
AV-Specific Issues in RDA Organized by core elements LCPS Section 1: Manifestation/Item Title (Only title proper considered core; other title information/parallel titles core per LCPS) (2.3) Source is title frames or screens, same as AACR2 (2.2.2.3) Statement of responsibility (2.4) Edition statement (2.5) Publication, distribution, manufacture statement (Place, name and date in each) (2.8-10) Copyright date if date of publication or distribution not identified (note: under AACR2, any date OUTSIDE of copyright is considered conjectural for AV) (2.11)
Preferred Source: More Information Order of preferred sources (2.2.2.3): 1. Title frames/screens 2. Label permanently affixed to the resource (e.g., disc); embedded metadata 3. Another source forming part of the resource Alternative to guideline above: eyereadable label (as #2 above)
Section 1: Manifestation/Item (ctd.) Series statement (2.12) Identifier (2.15) (e.g., ISBN, publisher number, etc.) Describing carriers (3) Media type (3.2) 3.2.1.3 video Carrier type (3.3) 3.3.1.3 lists four: video cartridge, videocassette, videodisc, videotape reel) Extent (3.4) Basic instructions; how to record specifics include in subsequent sections)
Section I: Manifestation/Item (ctd.) Recording extent for AV some relevant guidelines (260, 538 fields) Dimensions (3.5) everything recorded in cm. (e.g., a disc of 4 ¾ inches would be 12 cm); LCPS states to still use inches for discs. Sound characteristics (3.16) (e.g., analog vs. digital, playback channels, configuration) Projection characteristic of a motion picture film (3.17) (e.g., presentation, speed)
Section I: Manifestation/Item (ctd.) Recording extent for AV some relevant guidelines (etc.) (538 field) Video characteristic (3.18) (e.g., resolution (1080i), video format (Umatic), broadcast standard (NTSC, PAL) Encoding format (3.19.3.1) (e.g., DVD, Blu-Ray, MPEG-4) Regional encoding (3.19.6.1) (e.g., region 4, all regions)
Section 2: Work/Expression Preferred title (6.2.2) (e.g., 130 uniform title field) Identifiers Identifier for work (6.8) Identifier for expression (6.13) (note: based on RDA examples, can t tell the difference between this and what s listed in 6.8)
Section 2: Work/Expression (ctd.) Content type (6.9) Two-dimensional moving image Intended to be perceived as moving in two dimensions Three-dimensional moving image Intended to be perceived as moving in two dimensions Cartographic moving image Expressed through images intended to be perceived as moving (2-D); includes satellite images of Earth and other bodies in motion.
Section 2: Work/Expression (ctd.) Content (7) (not all core in RDA itself) Summarization (7.10) (520 field); core per LCPS Place and date of capture (7.11) (518 field) Language of the content (7.12) (546 field); core per LCPS Accessibility content (7.14) (e.g., closedcaptioning notes) (546 field) Colour (i.e. color) content of a moving image (7.17.3) (300 $b); core per LCPS Sound content (7.18) (300 $b)
Section 2: Work/Expression (Ctd.) Aspect ratio (7.19) (Could be in a 538 note) Full screen, widescreen; specific instructions given for when to use these terms (e.g., Record full screen for ratios of less than 1.5:1) Terms like letterbox, etc. Duration (7.22); core per LCPS This is what currently goes in 300 $a (e.g., 30 min.) Performer, narrator, presenter (7.23) (511 field) Artistic and/or technical credit (7.24) (508 field)
Section 3: Person, Family, Corporate Body Heading construction Won t cover here; very similar to AACR2) (Ch. 8-11)
Section 5: Primary Relationships among FRBR elements Primary relationships among FRBR elements (standard numbers and authorized access points) (17) At minimum, record the work manifested If more than one work is embodied in the manifestation, only the predominant or firstnamed work manifested is required If more than one expression is embodied in the manifestation, only the predominant or first-named expression manifested is required
Section 6: Persons, Families and Corporate Bodies Relationship between the resource and persons, families, and corporate bodies associated with resource Equivalent of $4 relator codes at the end of 7xx fields in MARC ($e used instead) Examples: $e film producer ($4 pro) $e film director ($4 drt)
Section 8: Recording Relationships between FRBR elements Ch. 24-28 Ch. 25.1.1.3 Referencing related works LCPS states this element as core for LC this is where instructions for Formal Contents Notes (505 field) is found Called Referencing Related Work in LCPS.
Review: FRBR Elements and RDA Section 1: Manifestation & Item 1: General Guidelines 2: Identifying Manifestations & Items 3: Describing Carriers 4: Acquisition & Access (Won t discuss) Section 2: Work & Expression 5: General Guidelines 6: Identifying Works & Expressions 7: Describing Content
Cataloging Under AACR2: Example #1 20
21
Example #1: Identifier Core Element this is both the 10- and 13-digit ISBN for the item (2.15)
Example #1: Title, Statement of Responsbility, New 3xx Fields Core Elements Title (Source is title frames) (2.3) Other title information/parallel titles core per LCPS, but not in RDA itself GMD replaced by: 336 two-dimensional moving image $2 rdacontent (6.9) 337 video $2 rdamedia (3.2) 338 videodisc $2 rdacarrier (3.3) Statement of Responsibility (2.4) Very basic instructions; examples here given as in AACR2 (e.g., producer, director, writer, production companies) References 7.23 and 7.24, which are for giving access to performers, narrators and presenters; and persons contributing to the artistic and technical production (respectively) (not core optional) Note: Latin abbreviation [et al.] is no longer allowed rule of three gone?
Example #1: Publisher/Distributor; Extent Needs publication date Spell out RDA states to give in metric, but LCPS states to still use inches for discs Core Elements Publisher/Distributor/Manufacturer/Copyright (2.8-11) Extent (3.4); duration (7.22); sound and color designations per 7.17.3 and 7.18; dimensions per 3.5; (min. and sec. abbreviations still authorized) Under RDA, look like: 260 Northhampton, MA : $b Media Education Foundation, $c [2001], c2001 300 1 videodisc (49 min., 56 sec.) : $b sound, color ; $c 12 cm Notes: Section 1: Manifestation/Item; and, Section 2: Work/Expression elements are intermingled throughout these fields Latin abbreviations [S.l.] and [s.n.] now gone: use place of publication not identified or publisher not identified
Example #1: AACR2 Notes vs. RDA/FRBR Elements, etc. Not core in RDA, but consistently given as notes in AACR2 538 (3.16-18) you d look here to code sound, projection characteristics, and video characteristics if the information were available 546 (7.12) Language 500 (2.20.2) Title not taken from preferred source 511 (7.23) Performer, narrator, presenter 508 (7.24) Artistic and/or technical credit 520 (7.10) Summarization note 500 (25.1.1.3) Special features (related works (?)); formerly would have been considered informal contents note.
Example #1: Heading Construction and Relationships In RDA: Section 3 describes how to construct headings Section 6 describes how to record relationships, similar to$4 relator codes Called relationship designators in RDA (see Chapter 18, and then Appendix I for codes): 700 1 Jhally, Sut, $e film director, $e film producer 700 1 Gardner, Thom, $e film director, $e interviewer 700 1 Glover, Danny, $e narrator 710 2 Media Education Foundation, $e production company Designators divided among FRBR elements in Appendix 1 (Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item)

Unresolved Issues (General) MARC tagging coincides well with AACR2 rules, not so much RDA RDA Appendix D Record Syntaxes for Descriptive Data maps MARC elements, but doesn t help in organizing data FRBR elements do not yet map well to MARC More standardization is needed
Training Issues How to make transition? Mapping these elements (like in this presentation) could be a solution Catalogers need to be versed in AACR2 to understand RDA Body of cataloging examples so far lacking need this to move forward
MLA/OLAC RDA Test Issues with access points http://www.olacinc.org/drupal/capc_files/ml A-OLAC_RDAtest1.pdf Principally issues surrounding languages and 130 u.t. access points (not covered today) Spoken languages, dubbing, subtitles how to treat for moving images? Different scenarios presented
MLA/OLAC RDA Test (Ctd.) Unresolved issues: http://www.olacinc.org/drupal/capc_files/ml A-OLAC_RDAtest2.pdf Implied that video games are moving images, but doesn t address computer multimedia Definition of encoding format (e.g., Blu- Ray is a type of disc; DVD-R refers to a method of recording data
MLA/OLAC RDA Test (Ctd.) Unresolved issues (Ctd.): Parallel titles on DVDs issue: is a not on the source of the title necessary for parallel titles gleaned from subtitles? (Testers thought no. ) Combining notes/notes not mapping to RDA elements RDA provides no guidance here; could affect current practices
RDA in OCLC: Example #1 Achieved by doing a basic search in OCLC: dx:rda cs=dlc mt:dvd
RDA in OCLC: Example #2
